I won... almost :P

There are times when you end up as a winner - almost. Your efforts are recognized, but not to the extent that they are rewarded and the prize is given to you. Nonetheless, these recognitions make me happy, knowing that I did well and that my works were appreciated. That's why I'm posting my almost wins here... :)

Here is my almost win no. 1. I joined the Abenson Promo and the prize was a Samsung Mobile Phone. Participants were allowed to submit two entries for the contest and both of my entries were included in the shortlisted Top 16. :) I didn't get the prize but a fellow contest junkie (who later became a friend did) - Paula :)


Now here's another - a NomNom Club contest wherein the prize is a Starbucks USB Flash Drive. I really super love Starbucks so i joined in despite the fact that it's only a 512mb USB... I didn't win, Japaul did, a fellow nuffie :) I was just happy that among the many wonderful entries sent, I belonged to the Top 6.


Lastly, this one's a recent contest for an iPad... and because t'was a twitter contest, I believe that a thousand entries (more perhaps) were received. Again, I didn't win but my entry was mentioned in SimplyHired's blog (I still super wish I can win an iPad soon...)

Most people think that losing isn't worth celebrating but in my case, the "Sayang, muntik na" moments can be disappointing but they are always worth a smile :)

Real Leaf Paparazzi

I have never been a fan of sodas. Nor did I ever engage in a one-night spree with beer or vodka. Instead, I have always loved ice-cold tea. Drinking tea is a habit I’ve developed since I was in college and my ‘tea-addictivity’ has never wavered since. I’ve patiently put up with teabags for years but fortunately, bottled-up teas are now available and distributed in heaps. These days, I’m much fond of Nestea’s Real Leaf Tea and I share this fondness with my two closest “allies” – my partner in life and my younger brother. W hat follows is our one big atte mpt to encourage more people to engage in our quest for a Real Life with Coca Cola’s Real Le af tea (and of course, an attempt to get a prize from Nuffnang's exciting contest- Real Leaf Paparazzi!)… This is the typical “Juan” trying to have a Real Life. With the help of the Real Leaf tea, my brother 'John' tries to stay 100% on. He tries to relieve the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety brought by… (a) a hard day’s work as a n...

Runes of Magic (RoM) is a free massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the Taiwanese developer Runewaker Entertainment.

Mommy Moments: Dear Mommy

Dear Mommy Dear Mommy, your child is your princess. She is your responsibility. If not for her own sake, never let her get hurt by any means. Dear Mommy, your child is your fan. She learns and takes after what you do, how you feel, where you go, how you react, what you think, why you love and why you hate. For her, be the best. Do not fail at being a good person for she too might suffer the same fate. Dear Mommy, your child is your student. Teach her everything that you know and guide her in every way that you can. Bombard her with good thoughts, warm emotions, and logical and critical reasoning. Empower her with love, understanding and patience. Dear Mommy, your child is your flesh and blood. Accept her. Recognize the whole of her - strengths, weaknesses, successes, and failures. Never forsake her for making wrong decisions and doing wrong things. She needs your guidance and your encouragement, not your pity, pride, and punishment. She needs you even when she says she doesn...
